"What? No, you can't do that. He's injured, he at least should get seen to." It was natural for Vee to want to help him, her bond drawing her into his needs, however my trust for the man had gone as soon as he re entered the pack house.

"His loyalty is currently questionable, I won't tolerate him wandering around the house when he could be leaking possible information to king Josh and his army.” Vee didn't like my answer, she shook her head, and stepped in front of her mate protectively, not that she could actually do anything of significance.

"But... he's injured."

"A superficial wound at most, if he can't handle that, then he shouldn't have found himself in such a position of power. Take him down, I'll deal with him later." I turned my back to the tractor and his mate, hearing a few slight grunts coming from his mouth as he was grabbed and escorted down to the pack dungeon.

I hastily made my way up the stairs to Lewis and Dylan's room, in hopes of finding the queen there. We needed to discuss what was going to happen next.

Wolves charged past me, anticipation clouding their every sense as they prepared themselves for the battle of a life time. Life as we knew it would crumple completely, whether that be for better or worse. This was unequivocally the beginning of the end.

I knocked upon getting to Dylan's door, although just from the smell alone I knew she wasn't in there. I barged in just to be sure, I hoped that the lack of scent was bought on by the immense number of people darting to and from the different rooms, but no, the room felt so cold knowing exactly where Lewis was currently. I mean for all we knew, he could have already been dead.

"Shit!" Where was Dylan. I could still faintly sense her in the house and so my worries weren't too focussed on her whereabouts, they were more on concentrated on her thought process. She still had the capacity to do something entirely dangerous and reckless.

I slammed the side of my fist on the wall in frustration and quickly spread to another room in the house where I thought she might be, the armory. She still had the key in her possession after all. Yet again, however, there was absolutely no sight of her.

"I want everyone to keep an eye out for Queen Dylan... as soon as someone located her, I am to know immediately." I barked my orders through mindlink and waited, I was met by a flood of voices all telling me the same thing, they hadn't noticed her yet.

My anxiety was increasing by the second. Where the fuck was she?! What was going through her head?!

The dungeon, maybe? Scents were blocked once you passed a certain line leading down to the dark cells, the wolfsbane and silver coated walls made that reality. She could have gone down there upon hearing about my sentencing of Oliver, maybe she had gone to question him more about what actually happened.

I made my way down there and growled lowly upon seeing Oliver attempting to comfort Vee through the bars of his cell, I felt sorry for Vee but my actions were completely justified given the situation. This was Lewis we were taking about, and as far as I'm concerned all the evidence pointed to the royal betas betrayal to the rebellion and his loyalty to the crown.

"Has Queen Dylan came down to see you yet?!" I demanded an answer, however my aloha tone had no real effect on the royals or their envoy, typically speaking, Royal beta Oliver held more peer and status than I did.

“No, not yet.” He sighed meeting my furious eyes with disappointed ones, however that disappointment quickly changed to concern and his eyes widened slightly. "She hasn't gone after him has she?!" That was starting to play around in my mind too.
